Education: reports; grade requirement for certain immunization records; modify in the revised school code. Amends sec. 1177 of 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1177). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0875'24
This bill requires parents to provide specific documentation regarding immunizations and vision screenings for children enrolling in Michigan public or nonpublic schools for the first time. It mandates that new students in kindergarten, seventh grade, and eventually twelfth grade submit proof of vaccinations, a religious exemption, or a statement confirming they are in the process of getting vaccinated. Additionally, the bill establishes a reporting schedule where school administrators must submit annual updates on the immunization and vision status of these new students to the state health department. The legislation also includes a provision that prevents it from taking effect unless a companion bill, SB 875, is passed into law.
